As an Integrative Psychotherapist (MÂ鶹ԭ´´) specialising in supporting young adults, adolescents, children and families, I take into account each individuals upbringing, culture, faith, and life experiences, all of which shape who we are and how we navigate the world. 

My therapy service, Lina Roots, was created from a deep commitment to creating a space where people of all ages, adults, children, adolescents, young adults and families - can feel truly received, heard with care, and supported on their mental health journey as they begin to move forward with greater clarity and self-understanding. I approach therapy holistically, recognising the connection between mind, body, and soul, and holding a strong passion for support that is nurturing, reflective, and restorative.

I use an integrative approach to therapy, drawing on a range of models to suit your unique needs and experiences. Taking a holistic perspective, I consider all aspects of your life when offering support. My work may incorporate person-centred, cognitive-behavioural (CBT), behavioural, psychodynamic, child-centred play therapy, and, where appropriate, Islamic psychology. Each area of concern I support is approached with a developmentally-appropriate stance. Depending on the age group of clienteles, I cater my therapeutic approach accordingly to fit the authenticity of the client.

I encourage an initial consultation before thinking about therapy, to give us both a chance to discuss the support you're seeking further, and to allow you the chance to reflect on whether being supported by me is the right fit for you. This may include questions, what's brought you here, and how things work in the therapy space. 

This initial consultation is always free, and is usually around brief 15-minute phone call.
